Hello,
Happy Sunday,
I joined in
Friday Night Sew In and decided to work on a cross stitch that was supposed to be finished in February! I continued stitching a little every now and again over the weekend and the stuffing was added while watching Landline at lunchtime today.
This is a design by a blog called Midsummer Night Designs. This blog hasn't been active for a while but there are several lovely designs available for free. I stitched on 14 count Aida. Lavender went in with the stuffing and the ric rac and button tin came out to see what could be used up. The same Christmas fabric on the front was used for the backing. This Christmas ornament will also count as a finish for
One Christmas Item a month.
The best event in Western Australia is happening soon.
No matter where you live in Western Australia if you are a blogger or read blogs you are invited to attend a bloggers meet up at the next craft show in Perth in May which is held at the Convention Centre. Anthea from Hibiscus stitches blog is asking that you let her know if you can attend this event. Several other things are in the planning stage as well. I can tell you days like this are so special and it would be so wonderful if more people could attend. Anthea has a
page on her blog dedicated to this, please have a look. The bonus regarding this blog gathering is that Shopping is involved. Bloggers from other parts of Australia could even attend and you are most welcome.
In my last post I had a recipe for the Vanilla Slice. Sandi who is a no reply commenter asked where the recipe came from. Check out the
link at http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/vanilla-custard-slice-L3882.html Did you know that if you are a no reply blogger you can fix that by looking at this
page.
Thanks to
Wendy and
Anthea for hosting both these link ups.
Happy days.

Hello Bev,
Another beautiful stitched pillow.
How exciting and hope there will be other bloggers that will be able to meet with each other. Sounds like a wonderful palace and anywhere one can buy things to add to our hobby in one place is a great way to spend a day.
Have fun and have a wonderful Sunday.
